Pretty much whatever someone is willing to pay. $250 -$500 maybe for the right buyer

Just the headlight sections, or the full 6 piece set? FWIW, I think I paid $80 for my NOS headlights. That included the aiming brackets too. That was a few years ago, so they may fetch a little more now.

I just bought the center sections. It was definitely a good deal though.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

It wouldn't be DOT legal.

As I recall, DOT regs changed at some point to mandate the use of polycarbonate on non-sealed beam head lamp design. Their reasoning being that they cause less dangerous debris in crashes and are less likely to be shattered by road debris.

Way less. Last ones I saw listed were $89 for all 6.

I've got the diamond clear's in mine and I think they were around $130. Been in the car for about 4-years now and still look as good as the day they went in.

Personally....I wouldn't pay top dollar for a OE lights. Sure, they're fit and finish is nicer, but one thing all of the factory original lights had in common was that they all turned a nice urine coloured yellow, over a short period of time.

You could almost put in 3-sets of reproduction lights for the same cost as a set of OE's.

FWIW. Cause of a minor fender bender a few weeks ago I got some quotes on fixing my bumper and right headlight and marker light. I had them give me full insurance rates and genuine parts. The insurance company cost for replacing the OEM headlight with another OEM headlight was $202.

I have decided to get a complete set of repros instead since I had just enough yellowing that I thought it'd be somewhat obvious that some were newer than the others. At least this way they'll all look consistent.

Troof. I think I paid 139 5 years ago for my ultra clears off the 'bay and they are still as clear as the day I bought them. The set before that only lasted about 2 years though.
